Researchers in the Social Sciences ask and answer a broad range of questions about who we are, how we navigate society, and how society shapes the choices and options that are made available to us. Many of these questions are briefly discussed in introductory courses, but time constraints limit the attention that can be given to each topic. This course provides space to further explore some of these key questions and themes. The theme of this course changes each semester, but possible areas of focus include delinquency and deviance, education, and social inequality.
